HC Deb 01 November 1948 vol 457 c31W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Education if he will give details of how the £267,000, which the British taxpayer will have to pay this year to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, will be spent; and who is responsible for the expenditure.

Mr. Tomlinson

The hon. Member will find on page 57 of the documents relating to the Second General Conference of U.N.E.S.C.O., of which I am sending him a copy, a statement of the purposes for which current appropriations have been made. The expenditure of these sums is the responsibility of the Director-General under the authority of the General Conference.
